House Democrats have passed a piece of legislation that was crafted
on the back of recommendations made by the 9/11 Commission in their
2004 final report. The bill is a tonic for big government, increased
federalization of America, and mandates expansion of no fly lists, terror
watch lists and further government surveillance of American citizens.

While the HR
1 bill contains some welcome provisions, including a redress of
grievance process for passengers unfairly delayed or refused boarding
for flights and a re-commitment to the Geneva conventions, it's largely
a nightmare for opponents of big government in that it vastly increases
funding and scope for Homeland Security, FEMA and further federalizes
law enforcement.

The legislation takes its cue directly from the recommendations of
the 9/11 Commission report, which has been widely
debunked by researchers and whistleblowers as a self-appointed whitewash
that was harnessed to bury important questions about the impossibility
of the official story behind 9/11. Hyping the threat of terror beyond
its reasonable capacity, ignoring the reality that peanut
allergies and lightning strikes kill more Americans than terrorists,
Commission leaders Kean and Hamilton encouraged
a broad range of measures that only accelerate the authoritarian
surge towards a police state in America. They include;

- Homeland Security identity checkpoints on American roads and highways;

- Mandated biometric iris and finger scanning systems for all Americans
at airports;

- Creation of a biometric national ID card for all American citizens;

- Expansion of "no-fly" and "watch lists" to prevent
more Americans from traveling (even though such lists have been ridiculed
time and time again for flagging completely innocent people including
Senators and children);

- Increased special screening of all passengers at airports (greasing
the skids for invasive body scanners that capture a naked image of the
passenger to be implemented as standard);

- Increased government surveillance of Americans' financial records
and activities;

- Domesticating the CIA to watch American citizens;

- Government wide sharing of information and centralization of databases
containing information about American citizens.

All of these recommendations were embraced by the 9/11 Commission and
many of them are contained within the bill introduced by the Democrats
that has already passed the House.

Meanwhile, on the geopolitical front Israel has resolved
to use its powerful lobbying network to arm twist recalcitrant Democrats
and media moguls into supporting military action against Iran. Retired
Gen. Oded Tira recently admonished, "As an American air strike
in Iran is essential for our existence, we must help (Bush) pave the
way by lobbying the Democratic Party (which is conducting itself foolishly)
and U.S. newspaper editors. We need to do this in order to turn the
Iranian issue to a bipartisan one and unrelated to the Iraq failure."

He continues, "Bush lacks the political power to attack Iran."
Thus, Israel and its U.S. lobbying arm "must turn to Hillary Clinton
and other potential presidential candidates in the Democratic Party
so that they publicly support immediate action by Bush against Iran."

Former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has also called upon Israel
to "immediately launch an intense, international public relations
front" aimed at the U.S. to sell the necessity of war.

Noted author and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan warns us
that "A propaganda campaign, using Israeli agents and their neocon
auxiliaries and sympathizers, who stampeded us into war in Iraq, is
being prepared to stampede us into war on Iran."

However, it doesn't appear that leading Democrats will take much convincing
before pledging their loyal support for the next chapter of imperial
suicide.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer recently assured readers of the Jerusalem
Post in Israel that the Democrats were fully prepared to back the use
of force against Iran and this sentiment is shared
by a cadre of leading luminaries including Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid,
Hillary Clinton, Bilderberg endorsed 2008 presidential candidate John
Edwards and even darling of the left Barack Obama.

While Americans are placated by promises that Democrats will "symbolically"
oppose President Bush's insane troop surge for Iraq, while they actively
fund the entire venture through the power of the Congressional purse,
the roadmap to Iran is being dutifully upheld by those who came to power
vowing change yet are showing all the signs of reverting to type and
lining up to salute the continued frog march towards world war three,
while ensuring the further downfall of America into a police state at
home.
